Welcome to the 2024 H@ck3r Runway landing page.
We returned to Defcon 31 last year and it was a hoot. This year for Defcon 32, let's christen the new location at LVC with some exciting entries. Hack3r Runw@y brings out all the chic geeks out there. It encourages rethinking fashion in the eyes of hackers/pentesters. Be it smartwear, LED additions, obfuscation, cosplay or just everyday wear using fabrics and textures that are familiar to the community. Contestants can enter clothing, shoes, jewelry, hats or accessories. If it can be worn, it is perfect for the runway. For convenience, contestants can enter the contest with designs made ahead of the conference, however it needs to be made by them and not just store bought. Hack3r Runway is perfect for everyone whether technologically savvy or just crafty. Check out the video to learn more about what the competition is all about.
